Makes sense …

… To appreciate Finnegans Wake you must hear its sounds and rhythms - The Spectator World. (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)

I finished reading Ulysses (for the second time — the first having been in college) in a Dublin hotel while on assignment to cover the centennial of Bloomsday. Debbie and I had been in Dublin for  a day or so and I found it suddenly quite easy to read, I think because I had heard Dubliners speaking. I concluded that it was written in Dublinese. I've never got far into Finnegans Wake, so maybe I'll give this a listen. You can also go onto YouTube and hear Joyce himself read from it.
